Restoration and Church Discipline Jesus directs the church to patiently and gently pursue its sinning believers that they may be won back from their sin. In cases where the professing Christian refuses to repent of sin, Jesus directs the church to remove the unrepentant one from the church family and fellowship. GBC practices church discipline as prescribed by its bylaws in accordance with Matt. 18:15-17, Titus 3:10, Rom. 16:17, 1 Cor. 5:9-13, and 2 Thess. 3:14. Regular attendance at GBC is considered affirmation of this biblical practice. If you have any questions regarding church discipline, please listen to our sermon titled “Your Role in Church Discipline,” located here on our website. The elders are also available to answer any questions.
Women of Grace The next Women of Grace will be Friday, November 14, from 7:00 – 9:00 at the home of Diana Kellso. We will have fellowship, teaching, prayer, and dessert! Stop by the InfoTable to pick up a flyer. For more information, please contact the office ([email protected]).
November Book of the Month Fundamentals of the Faith by John MacArthur is a concise 13-lesson study exploring the essential doctrines of Scripture. Student Ministries is using it this year, and we’re inviting the whole church to join—whether studying it yourself, guiding a younger believer, or partnering with someone else to study together. Parents, this resource is ideal for family discipleship. Pick up a copy or two at the booktable.
